Guide about Honor magic

[LastStandingDroid]

First of all I don't own a magic device however I use the magic firmware on my Honor 8 so I can't cover up all info about magic usage but most of them.

So Q/A

I can't install third party launchers, why?

Because huawei blocked this on this firmware. To install third party launchers you'll need root.

So I got a launcher installed. But I can't see any widgets?

Open /system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml and find there will be a # before it which disables the feature. Just remove it and reboot.

Why doesn't notifications work?

By default third party apps gets disabled notifications (idk why) go to notifications and enable them for your new installed apps.

I can't see nfc option?

This is due to being disabled in earlier builds. However B536.1 evaluation versions brings nfc settings.

Some options are still in Chinese why?

They have informed you that the English language is still in beta (unfinished) this we might be able to fix with overlays.



More will come.

Hi, my english is horrible, sorry, probably I must more times read again my posts... so what u want to say in your opinion is, Huawei working on Nougat for Magic?

What I can tell for now no I haven't seen any indication of it update wise . And since it's a test device rather then a official retail device it is likely they only are going to fix bugs etc. However I can't tell to a 100% but as its a half year since the device is released I doubt nougat is coming in near feature (if at all) there's no info as far as I can see (though I can't read or search in Chinese)

hm, I realy hope to Magic receive Nougat and right after I hope you make usable on Honor 8
Q: Honor 9 was released is possible to port rom from Magic to H9. Just for curiouse I don't have on mind buy Honor 9. But he has hw buttons (a bit simmilar like a Magic)

Possible no since it uses n as default it won't be able to use magic unless it receives nougat

Honor magic usage

Hi There,

Magic phone is indeed magic like, feels really great and looks beautiful, very smooth feel in hand.

Needed few tips and tricks to make more use of it.

Are these possible without root, if rooted office email app will be blocked

1) How to install launcher as system app, Please pls guide. I'm dying to install Neon, Zero.
2) How to install Ultra battery mode? - it is present in Honor 6 and it's awesome!
3) Is it possible to reduce resolution - Screen power saving - like Honor 6, saves battery during night and driving
4) Possible to change keyboard during typing? Popups doesn't show in notification shade, it's painful to go to settings n change every time

TIA.

Tnx,
Shreyas

1. Without root is not possible to install any 3rd party launcher except google launcher.

2. Do you mean the ultrabattery launcher which comes with huawei? If so it could be possible.

3. Resolution i doubt without root, and no idea about that feature.

4. We'll if you don't use navigation bar no, if you do it might work. Can't tell since I don't use that firmware atm but I never saw any fast switch for keyboard

Hi,
I can't figure out how to remove the carrier name from the notification bar on the magic. There seems not to be any option in settings.
Any tips? Phone is rooted.
Thanks,

I think you can edit it somewhere in a xml
Or in a prop file
Say me can you help me with oeminfo?

Or are you using the magicdevice?

Yes I am using a magic for the moment.
I've been trying to find it in the props and xmls, but I didn't find "carrier" or "operator" with a grep. It might be called something else.
